Smart Addition: Performance Fabrics
Performance fabrics — which are stain-resistant and moisture-repellent — are quickly gaining ground with consumers, who love the idea of having a couch that is kid- and pet-proof and easy to clean.
The latest in the performance fabric arena is a debut earlier this year from veteran home furnishings retailer Ballard Designs and performance textile leader Sunbrella®, who have partnered to launch the retailer’s first collection of performance fabrics for indoor upholstery, pictured above.
Ballard Designs Performance Fabrics by Sunbrella includes more than 100 fabrics with patterns and textures ideal for interior spaces, all with Sunbrella’s legendary durability, stain-resistance and ease of cleaning. Soft chenille yarns and a palette of neutrals ground the collection, while simpler yet statement-making motifs offer an aesthetic that complements the relaxed atmosphere of a home. www.ballarddesigns.com
